As austerity tightens its grip around the throats of the peoples of Europe,
but also rears its ugly head in Brazil and elsewhere, we are forced to
recognize that it is not the mere byproduct of the « economic crisis » but
a political project in its own right, one whose aim is to deepen and
consolidate the most uncompromising forms of neoliberal capitalism. It
cannot be said that this project has hitherto been met with passivity, even
if social movements of resistance have been mostly far from strong enough
to halt its advance. Yet something is perhaps beginning to change, namely
the emergence of counter-austerity projects that have pitched themselves at
a political - even electoral or governmental - level. With all their
weaknesses, hesitations and contradictions, the chinks of light in Southern
Europe, amongst others, should compel Marxists to pose a whole series of
'old' strategic and theoretical problems in new garbs and new
configurations, but perhaps also to retire some of our dear fetishes and
shibboleths, and to experiment with forms and strategies adequate to our
present. Among the themes that have returned to the agenda are: the
relationship of movements and parties of the radical Left to states and
governments; the need for a political response to how class power is
enmeshed with forms of domination that have gender, race, imperialism or
sexuality as their axes; possible « socialist » futures and the «
transitional » mediations implied by them; the guiding dichotomies of left
thought: reform and revolution, revolution and revolt, state and movement,
parties classes and masses; the link between the limits to capital and the
limits of politics.

At this year’s Historical Materialism Annual Conference in London, 5-8
November 2015, we would like to encourage papers on these and other topics,
with a particular focus on Greece, Spain and Latin America as laboratories
for these experiences and debates. Among the themes we would like to
explore are:*

Dual Power and Socialist Transition
Communisation, Accelerationism and their limits
Transitional Programme Redivivus?
The European Union as a Class Project
Greece and Spain as Laboratories of Change
Latin America - What Follows the Pink Wave?
Cultural and Aesthetic Representations of Crisis
What Is Populism?
The Reformist Hypothesis
Right-wing Strategies in the Crisis

Other themes we would like to see are:
Nietzsche and Marxism (to celebrate the publication of Domenico Losurdo’s
book on Nietzsche in the HM Book Series)
History and Actuality of the first four congresses of the Communist
International
Social Reproduction
Race and Capitalism
Capitalism, Logistics and the Sea
The Legacy of Nicos Poulantzas and Left Eurocommunism
Capitalism and Global Inequality: Keynes or Marx?
Marxist Thought in the Arab World
China: Is the Miracle About to Crash?
« Leninism » and its Discontents
Strategies of Counter-Revolution

Culture and State Building
Rebuilding Communities and the Battles around Housing.
Technologies and Culture

*This is a non-exclusive list - other subjects are of course welcome too.
Preconstituted panels are welcome but we reserve the right to disaggregate
them and create new panels with some of the speakers proposed.

N.B. Given the complexity of organising a conference of this size, we
cannot guarantee that speakers will be able to speak on a certain day or at
a certain time. Last minute changes to the conference programme may be
necessary due to cancellations, and we ask for speakers' understanding
should a paper or session need to be moved. Finally, please do not propose
a paper unless there are realistic prospects that you will be able to
attend - « no shows » cause endless knock-on problems of organisation and
stress.

Separate CFPs for streams during the conference, such as on Marxism and
Feminism, will be circulated soon.
